    At least rice, especially brown, provides benefits to your body.
    Also, one would assume that dinkum, Aussie rice would be less likely to have any arsenic content.
    No offence intended but I sure wouldn’t be drinking coffee that was $9 a kilo - that sounds like the stuff swept off floors - International Roast I think it’s called. Oh Lord it's hard to be patriotic.

    No offence, Gav. I'm a black tea only drinker, as my body is a temple!

    Yeah but it jams up the grinder in the coffee machine.

    Fascinating simile used there - reminds me of an old friend of mine (died in 1972 or thereabouts) - he had managed a tea plantation in West Bengal before Indian independence, and ended up in Australia after 1948. And at the slightest prompt would carry on about his wonder that the tea sellers in Australia ran such a badly managed operation that they could supply the volume of floor sweepings that was on Australian retailers shelves.

    Aussie Aussie Aussie or that 2nd rate cheap stuff ?

    I like local not a racist link.
    Now its Oil contamination. Prior "Baby milk powder" contamination China and US have our Milk going nuts by the plane load plus!.

    Love Aussie Olive oils and our rice bran or canola oil cook at my place or on my tomatoes and toast Our milk is clearly good as well

    Harmful contaminants found in almost all cooking oils tested, Hong Kong’s Consumer Council reveals


    • Consumer watchdog reveals 60 per cent of 50 cooking oil samples were found to contain 3-MCPD, a potentially carcinogenic chemical Link




    Food I grow or I catch or I hunt is even better I think

    Not suggesting every thing here is perfect. Pretty close happily.
